The election time

On Thursday April 10, 2008 took place the historic highly-awaited CA polls. And I wasn't any less excited despite the fact that I was miles away from home. As usual the work load was just unimaginable. So thats what took the most of my attention until one of my cousins called in early in the Morning (what the hell was he thinking!!!- early in the morning)..saying- he couldn't vote cause his name wasn't in the 'list'. Hah!!..I was like..didnt' you register??..nand just didn't feel like talking...come on..as a citizen you did have the right to vote and how come he didn't. Must be cause he didn't push their limits. As long as you have the citizenship, isn't that enough to be able to cast your vote. Which is a far better situation than 1000s of people casting votes under someone elses name. And I heard that happened. Which is nothing new in Nepal apparently.

I just don't get it, these politicans acting like animals..how ridiculous is that. The whole point was to go for proportional representation based on people's choice. and there they were using violence or wicked behaviour as the way to maneuver their destiny. Anyway..so its Friday here in the US. I am at work, and all my attention is gravitated toward the election. I am just not feeling liek working, I have bene continously checking news, sites everything that could come in handy to educate me about the post-election.
